PTBN's NBA-Team: March-ing On

In honor of episode 300, this... is... MARCH! Madness is upon us in the college ranks for basketball across the nation, so while you're obsessed with getting the right pick for your upset parlay bet, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are still watching all things NBA for you! The guys are torn on what Karl-Anthony Towns' knee surgery means for the Minnesota Timberwolves' postseason future, and they discuss the play-in scenarios in the West and East with less than 20 games to go in the regular season. If the Celtics are having one of the best statistical seasons of all-time, why is Andrew more unsure about them than ever before after a regular season clash with the defending champion Nuggets? Riche and Adam also talk about Caitlin Clark, Trae Young getting Ewing'd in Atlanta, the triple double race between Sabonis, Jokic, and Doncic, and much more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team! 
 
Also, a special thank you to all of the listeners throughout the years as we eclipse 300 episodes!

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 459 & 460 - Easy Street/Days Like These

This week on It Was a Thing on TV
 
First, in Episode 459, Hugh Wilson and Loni Anderson worked together on a popular series in the late 70s and early 80s, WKRP in Cincinnati.  They tried to parlay that magic into another series four years after WKRP's end, one where a former showgirl, played by Anderson, married her wealthy husband, who died.  When you're battling family members who want that money, life isn't so easy on Easy Street.
 
Then in Episode 460, the annual Lost in Translation episodes start with another British adaptation of a beloved American sitcom.  Despite American scripts being localized for a UK audience, Days Like These didn't click.  Maybe it needed a catchy phrase in its opening like "Hello Luton!"

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 457 & 458 - Charlie & Company/The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re going mental!
 
First, in Episode 457, Black History Month 2024 concludes with a comedy starring a comedic legend, trying to capitalize on the success of a similar show on another network.  Despite pulling the stops to make it popular including adding a familiar face later in its sole season, Charlie & Company is just a footnote in history.
 
Then in Episode 458, Mike's birthday is this weekend and he played his Money in the Bank on this short-lived cartoon that, while absolutely hilarious, aired at the wrong time slot and/or aired either a few years early or a few years late.  Celebrate Mike's birthday by getting completely mental with Ed Grimley and those in his universe.
